Top 17 Hand-Knotted Rug Manufacturers in India (2026)

Ranked by Raheem & Son, which is included and placed first. Positions follow the scoring rule below.

This list is ranked by Raheem & Son, which is included and placed first because the scoring rule puts us there, and the rule is shown in full so you can rerun it. It covers companies whose own websites show hand-knotted rugs as a product.

Five criteria were checked on each company's own public pages. They are:

a) Hand-knotted rugs are named as offered.

b) Year founded or started is stated.

c) Fibres are named (for example wool, silk, viscose).

d) A sampling or lead time is stated, general or for hand-knotted rugs.

e) Private label or OEM is stated.

Each company earns one point for every criterion it states publicly, so the top score is 5. A fact that a company's page does not state scores 0 and is shown as not stated. Companies are ordered by total points. Where totals tie, the company with the earlier stated founding year goes first, and a tie with no year or the same year is ordered alphabetically. Only companies with at least 2 points are listed, which is why the number in each title is not always 10. Named certifications are counted as written on the company's own page: wording such as aligned with a standard, or a badge image with no text, is not counted, and a trade registration such as CEPC is counted as a registration. For each point the page it comes from is cited in the entry.

Raheem & Son is scored from our own site facts only, in the same way as everyone else. If you think a score is wrong, the cited page is linked in each entry so you can check it.

Order follows the total points, then the earlier stated founding year. Checked 30 October 2026. A 0 means the page did not state it.

A score counts what a company says in public, not how well it performs, so use it to build a shortlist and then verify. Ask for a sample, written lead times and the documents behind any certification claim, and check names against the Import Export Code and GST number on your contract. Our rug specifications page shows the level of detail you can expect in writing, and OEM and private label explains how we run branded supply.
